Meet Brunswick! I am beyond thrilled to be starting my next conversion, and feel very lucky to be able to be doing so in such a big van!! Brunswick is a 2018 Ram Promaster HIGH ROOF (!!!) 136" wheelbase. I have so many plans flying around my head about how I want to design this tiny home, but I am keeping one thing at the forefront through it all: comfort! I am going to be designing this build with comfort in mind for both Teller and myself, and that starts with keeping Tilly cool during these hot summer months. A big thank you to ZeroBreeze for sending me a Mark II to try out and incorporate into this build. It is going to play a HUGE role in keeping Teller safe and comfy in this van.

Lush love the dog being the central protagonist ❤
Fans next to vents for a/c always help push the cold air further. I ve been doing that since I was in sticks and bricks.
Ok I binged this channel in an hour … amazing humans and a dog… I am ready for more please.. please don’t stop creating
Ditto!!! 😂
I love how you prioritize Teller. You're an awesome human!
Hi! I have a zero breeze also. I just wanted to mention that the force and impact of the cooling air will decrease considerably once you start to reroute it with additional venting. Also if the output of air has to travel any significant distance, a huge portion of the air force is lost, and the cool air won’t reach your fur baby the same. I am currently trying to experiment with different ways to counter this. I hope what I was trying to say came out right. I wish you all the best with the new build and I really look forward to seeing your creativity in it.
Just an idea from the HVAC world - use a fan along the route to boost the air flow. In this case, a 4" computer fan would be perfect - minimal power draw, easy to wire with a switch, and easy to find/replace.
Put it close to Teller's bedroom.
Love Teller! He’s so precious. Love that you love him so much too!
After seeing a windy rain storm rip some shingles off a neighbor's roof vent ( because the wind was forcing the rain to go SIDEWAYS instead of down, you might want to add a little "roof" or something to protect the outside vent holes somehow.
I think that you are very talented Milo.
Dude. So wholesome. I’ve wanted to do van life for YEARS. Can’t believe I’m already 34 and still haven’t did it. Been considering a element or a transit connect like you had. Seems like a great fit for me. Need to figure out how to make money on the road. Love your good nature bro. Much love
Hi, those vent caps look fine. You just need to locate the unit higher than the holes so if any water does find it's way into the hoses, then it will just drain back out and not enter the machine. Make sure that you tape the connections so water can't escape into the inside of the van. Be careful to install the inlet and outlet directed away from each other to avoid a short circuit of the warm outflow into the cold air intake. It's a good idea to use hoses that are smooth on the inside so the air can flow better. Love the videos.
Excellent tips, thank you!!
@@milomeloy seconding, i have a similar AC (two hose model) and it wasn't a big deal. maybe make sure there's an insect-proof screen as well as the vent flaps? and have the exhaust come out as much higher than the intake as possible.
really exciting to be able to watch the new van taking shape! have you considered an external awning to shelter the doors from rain? maybe even something simple like a tarp stretched between the top of the two back doors, idk
make a hole at the bottom of the van to for the ac instead of the side, just use a water proof mesh to keep water from coming in like what they wrap around custom car intakes
I admire the depth of intentionality that you have put into deciding your goal/priority for this new build, naming it accordingly as a tangible reminder (tangible = written in your wonder-filled journal), and then selecting a fitting van model to create this new comforting and comfortable home for the both of you. That look of pure joy on your face at the beginning of this video sparked a glow in my heart. Thanks for that!
Sorry for the typos. My phone is possessed. You not dummy I’m very impressed with what you have done with your living situation
Honey! ❤ Congratulations with your new van, you’re going to give it so much soul and heart coming from you and your lovely dog. You two are so BEAUTIFUL I just want to give you all a hug. Stay safe, loves!
Beastlies are so worth it--I couldn't agree more: they deserve all good and only good things --dogs are their own kind of magic ✨
Great job!!! Congratulations, Milo!!!
Waiting to see this van when you finish. Because your other van was very nice. So I know this is gonna be very nice. So get busy I'm waiting.
The measuring of those fluffy turkey legs was definitely the highlight 😆
Hi Milo. 👋 Can’t wait to follow your Brunswick build. So excited for you and Teller!
That’s a great van. I can’t wait to see what you do with it. I love campervans and dogs but your journal is the highlight of the channel for me! 😁 Thanks for sharing.
Once I get a van I would love your help! I have 6 cats and it's all about them!!
What a wonderful wonderful human
I ve only seen 2 of your videos and I love everything about you. Much love!
Wow! I just found your channel and watched your build of your smaller van and it was amazing. I am so excited to see your plans for this van. You are such a good fur Dad making sure that Teller has everything he needs to live his best life. I'll be looking for your videos showing us the new build!
Interesting a/c project... Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you.
Here's an idea, if your going to have a diesel heater why not set both units up to share the duct work. You may want to consider a different type of exterior vent. It would be nice to be able to close it off in the cold months. Bye the way nice job on the last van build. I'm sure this one will be even better.
Great!!! Please, keep us updated with new videos!
WOW! This video made me ( a 55 year old GlamMa ) cry.. So emotive .. Happy travels to you both..I’m a new subscriber for sure 🐾
Why is Terller so beautiful 😍
Hey Milo, can’t wait to see what ingenious plans you’re going to do in your new van. I am so pleased for you…but a little envious too lol, but I get my van life fix following you and some other guys.
Yay......we're going to have some fun with this new build.
Regards from Central América
Glad for you but your other little van was the bomb! That “garage” was one of the best ideas ever. So… can’t wait to see what you do with this van. Congratulations!
Yay!best wishes for wonderful adventures in your new home🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi from Switzerland, good luck with your new van, I have a zero breeze in my vw westfalia vanagon from 1988, and it makes are live much better while camping on summer vacation in Italian country side.
Dude you are the coolest. I love how you keep things simple. I've definitely using your style as an inspiration for my next van.
If you had made the A/C houses point down (as they run from the unit to the outside), then any water that did get in would have just run right back out again. You can also double-stack those vents to block train in two stages, as long as that doesn't impede air flow too much.
Your presentation is top knotch, well done!🎉
Great to hear your thought process and goals for this build. Now I've found you again, I'm looking forward to seeing it all come together- all the best 👍
Love watching you innovate and build out your van. I also have an Aussie and want to build a van. Thanks for inspiration!
So glad we get to see you build this. I am building one as well and will be excited to see your organization of the inside. Rock on and CHEERS! P.S. your dog is beautiful 😇
Congratulations and I’m excited for you both. I’m just amazed at anyone who can do these conversations. It just blows my mind how people can take an every day van and convert it into a living space that is so cozy and beautiful. I have no skills to do this but LOVE to watch videos of people who do. Also I’m curious as to what your whole day looks like. How do you know where is a safe place to stay for the day and what do you do if it’s rainy all day?
Soooooo excited for you! Can’t wait to see what you do with Brunswick! 😁 Teller getting his own room will be amazing! Oh I’m so excited for this!!
And I’m stoked you got sent the Zero Breeze… I’ve seen good things about it. And you deserve it!
George of "humble road" - happily shares everything about 'Van Builds', do watch his videos too if you haven't so far...cheers and good luck mate!
Can’t wait to see what you do with this build. Subscribed and looking forward to what you come up with.
I just got back from my first van trip! 31 days, 8500, 14 states.
I'm SO glad to see you back, Milo. You and Teller have been missed.
Looking forward to seeing the build. I guess I need to watch the previous video to get info on this new van.
I hope to get a 159 ram promaster, I Definitely have plans for my dog Pearl to have her own space, I love your last van build I'll keep up to see what you decide on.
You're amazing!!!
Yay new videos and a new van! Tellers adorable face in this was just too much cute for me! Perhaps you could attach a bit of a plastic protective hosing around the vent outside, like a circular rain guard to keep water out.
I remember seeing you with your first van an i thought it was beautiful also 😊😊..
You had one of the best Ford Transit Connect builds I’ve ever seen, I can’t wait to see what you do with this 🚐 💕
Thank you for sharing! ❤
Just found your channel, and can't wait to watch all your videos! 😊
I love your journals!
So proud of you! So glad that this UA-cam platform can help you live out your dreams! You are incredibly lucky and blessed 🤘🏾
I loved Dottie, you did such a great job bringing your vision to life… I can’t wait to see what you do here 👍
Your first van build actually inspired part of my own build, so I was excited to see you bought the same size van I have. You'll also love the extra space as well as still being able to park in regular car spots. Looking forward to watching your build. 😁
I enjoy all things Milo! So excited for this new build and the home you’re creating for yourself and Teller! Thanks for taking us along.
I am all caught up. I have watched and liked every video. ❤️
Can't wait to see your process through this Milo! Was so happy to see a couple vidros from you today. Hugs to Teller😊
I can’t wait to see you new building home ❤
I admire your fastidious way of doing things and am looking forward to seeing your new home! I know it will be wonderful!
I'm late to the party but congrats 👍 I just bought a 159wb high roof 2500 Promaster which I'll convert into a home on wheels.
Waiting for the coming video.😊
Sweet! Congratulations!
Consider only putting the exhaust outside of the van. The intake should be able to be inside.
Agree.
The intake and the exhaust should by on the outside if you want to work best, if it’s just exhaust it’s blowing cold air out
Great observation as the warm air coming out might mix intervertanly with the cool intake,thus decreasing the efficiency of the unit.
I thought the same thing when I first received the unit! But after looking into it further, I kept seeing warnings about creating negative pressure inside. Here's what ZeroBreeze mentions on their FAQ about this topic:
"The unit does not draw air from the outside to be used inside the space. It draws air from the outside to cool the condenser of the a/c system and then exhausts the same air back outside. The inside air is recirculated through the front evaporator side.
If the intake hose is put inside, cooled air will be sucked in and wasted on cooling the condenser. As cooled air is constantly exhausted outside, it’ll create negative pressure and draw hot air into the air conditioned area."
@@milomeloy Wow, it's great that the company explains this in clear layman's terms! Good on them.
I have the 136” wheelbase and I love it. I have a portable AC for my bedroom, but that one you have looks like a game-changer! Personally, I run my intake and output hoses to the outside… that way there’s no air pressure “drag” on the machine. I look forward to seeing your results… happy travels!
I don't know if you've already started drilling, but one suggestion I have for the A/C is to try and separate the exhaust and intake hoses as far from each other as possible. I've seen a lot of people talk about A/C units like this struggling to make any cool air when all the air it was sucking in was hot exhaust fumes cos it was right next to it which also makes the space smell. That could also be bad if that sucked in exhaust is being concentrated straight into Teller's tiny little bedroom inside the van. Could have bad results health wise for you both. Other than that, I'm looking forward to seeing your new design!
Awesome can not wait too see the new build
Wishing you all the best in your new build. Can't wait to see Brunswick all finished. Will love seeing you and Teller more often!
Just started watching your videos today i love them and cant wait for more
I'm so excited for you. This is going to be great! You and teller look so good and happy. I know you are going to do an awesome job and I can't wait to see how you build out your new home.
I enjoyed the transit connect conversion but I did wonder why not a 17 foot Promaster. We have a 21 foot 3500 Ext and enjoy every inch as it were. Good buy.
Oh wow felicidades Milo por tu bella adquisición , la primera vez que vi un video de Camper fue el tuyo y me quede encantada con tu van la pequeña 🤩 como me gustaría tener una igual 🙏🏽
I am so excited to watch yoir new van build. My life revolves around my two pomeranians and so it makes perfect sense to me you are building a bedroom for your dog and also got an AC unit for the dog.
I plan to get a van in a year so I will probably be stealing some of your ideas from you!
Can’t wait to see the finished product. Don’t stay away so long..hello Teller
Have been dreaming to live in a tiny van with my dog now am on my 50's. Then i have seen your video and i liked it and i was surprised why i am already subscribed. Btw, i am called Meloy too
It looks exciting.
What an upgrade 🔥
Awesome van, very nice. Can't wait to see what you do to it.
Looking forward to your updates 😄
I love how you love your pup. He's adorable. I can't wait to see your complete built.
Hello Milo, So glad to see you and Teller, I can't wait to see your next build !!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Congratulations! I look forward to seeing your build out.
Cool channel - I enjoy the van life vibe
So excited to see your videos...your art is phenomenal and I love you showcasing it in your videos..so great to see you again i have missed watching you. Keep on filming!
So exciting! we watched the debut of your first build and we can't wait to see what you'll do with this one
Excited for your new van! Can’t wait to see how you make it a new home!
Good.
This is wonderful news, so happy for you and the doggo ❤
I'm so excited for you and your companion ❣️🌻
Please, let us now how it’s going the new van ♥️
YEAH!! So glad to see you. Congratulations on your new van & I can't wait to see your build👍
Comgraulations on the new van!
I’m looking forward to the creative design ideas you will incorporate in the build. :-)
I'm so excited for you!!! ❤🐾❤🐾
Hey, how about an L-Shape pipe facing downward?
New subscriber here 👏👏👏 keep up the excellent work.
Nice review of the Mark 2 but I find it on the weak side since it only has around 2300BTUs of cooling power. It won't be able to cool down a large tent.
Wow, I’m really looking forward to what you do with this van, your other one had so many great and unique ideas. Please don’t let us wait for too long ;)
Ps I grew up in Braunschweig/Germany which in English is called Brunswick
Super psyched for you! Looking forward to watching the build
